Mobile mass spectrometry system for residual gas analysis

Pfeiffer Vacuum+Fab Solutions, part of the Busch Group, has unveiled the HiCube Neo RGA - a fully integrated, mobile system for residual gas analysis that pairs vacuum pumping with high-sensitivity mass spectrometry.

At the heart of the system is the fusion of a HiCube Neo turbomolecular pump with the PrismaPro mass spectrometer, providing real-time gas composition analysis across a wide pressure spectrum - from atmospheric conditions down to high vacuum. Designed for use in environments such as coating systems, vacuum processing, and materials R&D, the HiCube Neo RGA supports both quality control and fault diagnostics.

Engineered with reliability in mind, the unit includes automatic filament shutdown when pressures exceed safe thresholds, protecting components and prolonging service intervals. Additional safety and contamination-control options include a built-in shut-off valve and recipient heater to desorb background gases that might skew results.

Aimed at ease of use and integration, the HiCube Neo RGA offers multiple I/O channels for sensor integration, a touchscreen interface, and PV MassSpec software for streamlined data access. The plug-and-play system is also available with a trolley mount, enabling quick relocation between test sites without disassembly.

Ideal for labs requiring flexible, high-precision gas monitoring, the HiCube Neo RGA represents a versatile tool for modern vacuum applications.
